All Hallow's Eve :)

  Halloween in our house is a BIG deal! The kids love dressing up and going out and Trick or Treating! In our sleepy little town Halloween is rarely celebrated on the 31st. People here complain too much on what day it is. 9 times out of 10 if it falls on a Sunday or a Wednesday Halloween is moved to a different day. Which to me is kind of weird because I grew up in Texas and there it doesn't matter what day it falls on we Trick or Treated on the 31st no matter what. For some reason this year they decided not to move it even though it fell on a Wed. night! YAY!!

  The day started with my youngest son's class Trick or Treating the local businesses in Fitzhugh:) Then we did some fun activities in class and had their party after lunch. My older kids had their parties last week so it was all about him and he loved it! Of course I was there anyway because I was filling in for his teacher. The kids had so many things to eat they didn't know where to start! I can't believe all the parent involvement this year!! The room was full of parents which was AWESOME!  I will say however it was the quietest Pre- K party I have EVER been too! The kids were all well behaved even the ones that we usually have issues with! The party was over by 1 and those that didn't leave with their parents we put down for a nap. We knew that since that evening they would be trick or treating a nap would help keep them from being cranky:)












































Once we got home the other 4 got dressed up in their costumes and we headed out to trick or treat a few homes here in our town before heading to Ada where we always go:)  We had heard that Sonic was doing .50 cent corn dogs all day Halloween so of course that was our first stop before he started trick or treating. Ok here is where I got mad! We get to Sonic around 5:30 and I tell them we need 8 corndogs and the lady proceeds to tell me that they are out of corndogs and that any order made is going to take 20-30 before it is brought out. Oh yes I got a lil rude! I told her that she had to be kidding me! I mean the kids hadn't even started trick or treating in Ada yet and Sonic new that they were going to get slammed with parents bringing their kids to get a corndog before they got started, and yet they still didn't stock up on corndogs before advertising the special! UGGGGG!!!! That really irritates me!! Well needless to say we left and didn't order anything! We stopped at a church that was doing a Trunk or Treat and then hit up the Arlington shopping center. Its a lil strip shopping center and almost all of the businesses hand out candy:) After that we started hitting up houses. The kids got quiet a bit of candy but in this economy they didn't get as much as they had in the past. We ended up calling it a night around 8:30 and went and met my Sister to see her new baby:)  We got home early enough to get the kids in bed and relax a bit before we headed to bed! We were blessed that my hubby didn't have to work late and got to go with us, but it was the first year that my Mom didn't go with us. So this was actually the first year that it was just My hubby, me, and the 4 kids:) We all had a blast and glad its over! Now I am ready to throw the candy in the trash because everywhere I look I see candy wrappers laying EVERYWHERE! UGGGG!!










    I hope everyone had a safe and Happy Halloween!! I know we did! Our October has been a pretty blessed one and I can't wait to see what November has in store for us!!! My next blog will showcase some of our family pics we had taken on Sunday!! YAY!! I can't wait to see them!!
